Hello folks...

I have a small demo windows forms application, which has 2 forms.
1)enter a name in the first form, which will add the name to a table in the database. The back-end used is SQL Server 2008.

2)After successful entry in the database, the user is prompted to the second form, which is basically a demo calculator.

My question is how can I deploy this project to some other machine. Wana create a normal executable file, in the other machine.

I was able to deploy one another windows forms app, which was without a SQL database connection, by using the Setup and Deployment wizard of the VS 2008.

Also, does the other machine would have to have certain pre-requisites, like presence of SQL server in it?

I googled, but could not find meaningful results.

Any assistance or an external pointer to this scenario would be highly appreciated.

Hi Anurag,
I think your problem is not deployment of your application. If you have a sql connection problem you must configure your sql server settings(remote access).
Did you configure it for remote access?

In addition,
if you want an alternative deployment you may try clickonce deployment technologies.
[more detail for clickonce]
